Healesville Race 4

Thank You Montrose Iga Liquor

Prize Money: $3,360

ELECTRA OPAL (5) hit the frame two on end before being rewarded with a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 300m (16.50). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Expected to be right there at the finish again. LAID BACK LASS (2) comes here following a placing in fast time (22.60) over 400m at Geelong. Has the ability and looks a key chance. BETTY'S GARDEN (1) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fourth (19.46) over 350m at this track. Worth following up. MADE UP STORIES (4) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 350m this track in 19.46. Has run hot time here with a 16.4 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 4/5 at Geelong when a 2 length third but did run a handy 22.60 over the 400m journey. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Could manage only sixth last time but turned heads the start prior when she was an eye-catching winner scoring by half a length in a Grade 5 at this track and clocking a solid 19.32 over the 350m trip. Worth including on winning run two back.

Comes off a (16.50) win last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 300m at this track. Has three wins and three placings from 10 starts from the draw. Looks a key chance on best form.

Didn't complete the course at her last start. Run prior was ordinary when sixth over 410m at Horsham. Not suited by wide draw and prefer to watch at this stage.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.27) in a Special conditions Veteran race, finishing a 3.5 lengths sixth. Has five successes and three minors from 13 starts from box 8. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
